I'm a little surprised she hasn't won any appeals. Telling someone to do something doesn't usually make you criminally responsible (and I'm absolutely not talking morally responsible here, she's a POS). I'm also not sure why part of the ruling had to do with the fact that she didn't call police - isn't that legally only the responsibility of mandatory reporters?
Maybe I'm missing some laws she broke though, since I'm not sure how else she would lose an appeal. Good riddance either way.
